Popular Post KK 2786 Posted October 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2020 On 10/27/2020 at 6:31 PM, Nick Parker said: I hooked up with a girl once two years ago because I overheard a conversation next to me about The Burbs, and tipsily butted in about how great Jerry Goldsmith was. I also got a date four years ago when I was waiting for a flight to DC and saw a girl reading Ready Player One (reading it for the high school class she taught I discovered). I walked over to her and said, "Hey did you know Steven Spielberg and John Williams are making that into a movie?" No hook up or anything, but we ended up kissing in front of the White House. Moral of the story, Williams and Goldsmith, good wingmen! Powell was my wingman. My first girlfriend was feeling out the HTTYD theme on the piano when I spotted it, pointed it out and we became inseparable for 2 years or so. She was a massive Giacchino fan though.

Harry Potter”, and they’ll be like “Oh yeah, I didn’t know his name”. I suppose that’s marginally better than getting the “I thought he was dead” reply.

There's a simple poem my great grandmother would always tell me: Goldsmith and his ponytail gets you some tail Williams and his turtleneck gets you some hickies Giacchino and--you like Giacchino?You gotta go. ...But hey maybe first we can have us a quickie?

Biodome 348 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 "I like film music as well, especially John Williams." "Who's John Williams?" "He wrote the music to Star Wars." "Oh, I don't watch Star Wars, so I wouldn't know." Never saw her again. Link to post Share on other sites

Ollie 693 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I use the same rule I would for anything in my life. As you get closer to someone you start to open up about things. But if I feel there’s nothing there as far as continuing a relationship, then I’m not going to talk about my personal life too much. Of course I haven’t dated in 20 years, I’m not allowed to. 13 hours ago, KK said: Powell was my wingman.

Miguel Andrade 753 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Of course I did. With my better half, she was already aware of my "addiction" long before we started dating. But then again, most people I know are aware of my love for John Williams' music so the topic comes up naturally. Link to post Share on other sites
lemoncurd 273 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 reminds me: I've once dated two guys for a few weeks. One of them, a jazz musician (!), didn't know Gershwin's Rhapsody in blue. That kind of help me making a decision. Link to post Share on other sites

The Big Man 6925 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I was chatting with an NY-based Trinidadian babe a few months ago who had the biggest SW junk collection I've ever seen (even covered in SW tattoos), so when I decided to show her my SW soundtracks, she found it bewildering why anyone would ever want to hear that music on its own, let alone on a "CD". I mean... didn't she like SW? That was really weird. carlborg, rough cut and Jurassic Shark 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
